This is one of the reasons that I think the TV/radio advertising model would work: If the product is free to be obtained and passed around, ultimately that means more eyeballs will see it. And advertisers will pay per eyeball (assuming you have data to back up how many eyeballs are watching... that's the sole reason the Nielson ratings still exist).
